CARS THAT DRIVE THEMSELVES

[Jasper]

  Taken from you?  Like those were ever legal?

Wait, since when does legality hinder you?

It's the PRINCIPLE of the thing, Siggie!

[Jasper]

Alright, sure.

But even still, there are so many practical issues with illegalizing manual driving that it won't even be on the table until long after I have died of stupendously old age.

Well, they were for Ollie North, who was once found naked and carrying a firearm around a suburban area, IIRC.

I don't think he was even charged, either.

They'll discover age extension, just so you can live to see it.

[Triple Zero]

Well if it takes banning manual driving, just to invent age extension OUT OF SHEER SPITE just so Sig can live to see it ...

well DAMN.

what is this in reference to?

[Triple Zero]

because everybody in America drives automatic. this is well known fact taught in European public schools worldwide.

[Cain]

Unlike geography.

the excellent thing about being it being a prius is that the breaks dont work anyway.  so even though you thought you had no control, you have no idea.  and because its google maps you'll crash into a wall miles from your chosen destination.  if you get the choice that is.  i think i'll just walk.

[Eater of Clowns]

I'm with Roger on this one.  It would save lives, it would probably intelligently reduce traffic jams (no more rubbernecking fucks, controlled merging, etc), and reduce road rage.  And I would not fucking have it.

[Jasper]

There's something in R&D called degenerative breaking. I think it's related.

[Adios]

Are you fucking kidding?

"Oh, it was just a system crash that led to all those deaths. We 'are looking into it' and a report will be forthcoming."

Whoops.
